Action potentials (nerve impulses) move along unmyelinated neurons in the digestive tract at a speed of 7 m/s. Action potentials move along myelinated neurons in the digestive tract at a speed of 120 m/s. How much faster (as a %) does the action potential travel along the myelinated neuron in comparison to the unmyelinated neuron?
